Animal Crossing movie trailer

A new trailer for the forthcoming Animal Crossing movie has popped up on the Internet.

As previously announced, the movie is being helmed by Japanese director Jouji Shimura and should hit cinemas over there in December. The trailer's not very long, unfortunately, but it'll at least give you a taste of what to expect.

A new website for the movie has also been launched - though you'll need a working knowledge of Japanese to make any sense of it, sadly.

There's still no word as to whether the Animal Crossing movie will make it to Europe, but we reckon there's a reasonable chance what with the game having sold stupidly well over here.
